Ariana Grande should not have remained silent: Letter to the Editor

I am responding to, Kate Woodsome's expose column in the Sept. 5 forum. I was appalled upon reading the inappropriate and racists behavior by, Pastor Ellis (chosen to read the eulogy at, Aretha Franklyn's funeral) towards, Ariana Grande while on the pulpit no less. Where is the outrage by the "MeToo" group towards this supposed man of the cloth?

To those who equate this to her mode of dress and some what the black church culture is an insult to all black women and men. Pastor Ellis, tongue-in-cheek apology appeared insincere and almost in a joke form. This pastor should have been admonished by all who witnessed this spectacle and stripped of his position. Instead of being about remembering and honoring, Aretha Franklyn it became show-time for, Pastor Ellis and Ariana Grande. Ariana Grande, failed all women by remaining silent of her humiliation.

Roseanne Barr was censured and dismissed from her show for the nasty remarks made towards, Valerie Jaret. Is, Ariana Grande no less important as a Hispanic woman as to not deserve the same justice?
